A ROBBERY victim needed hospital treatment for hypothermia after his attackers threw him into a Warwickshire canal.

The 34-year-old man was approached by two men outside Threshers in Clifton Road, Rugby, during the early hours of Monday.

Initially, the robbers stole a mobile phone but the victim followed them down Railway Terrace, through Mill Road railway tunnel and over Boughton Road to Brownsover reservoir, where they stole the victim's wallet and keys, before throwing him into a canal.

The robbers are both white males.

One is of medium build, the other of slim build. Both are in their mid 20s, around 5ft 10in to 6ft and clean shaven.

One wore a white coloured hooded sports-type top with dark tracksuit bottoms and white Reebok trainers.

The other wore a camel-coloured jacket, white jeans and white trainers.
